It’s time for your 2018 Annual Roadmap & Strategic Plan exercise. This is the exact same process/exercise that I have been doing now for 10+ years to help create success personally and professionally. This year, I have revamped & reorganized many of the questions to make it even more powerful and create more WOW.
I believe these changes & additions are going to help you further crystallize your vision, success, and significance even more. PREPARATION & hard-work are the keys to success and these questions will certainly help PREPARE you to be your absolute BEST.
A couple things I’m doing different this year:
Last year, I got out “Part 1” of the Roadmap on Dec 20th where I just released the questions to you.
And then on December 27th I followed up with you with all of my answers.
This year, I started on my Annual Roadmap WAY earlier than ever before. And I’ve already put 10+ hours into it.
So I’m giving you everything AT ONCE, that way you can have the questions AND my answers all at the same time.
Here is how I suggest you proceed to maximize this great tool!
Your ACTION STEPS:
- Print out your 2018 Annual Roadmap & Strategic Plan questions (attached).
- LISTEN to the recorded message below sometime this week where I step you through the entire exercise. There are “10” sections and you can do one section at a time or try to plow through a couple sections if you devote a few mornings or afternoons between now and the start of 2018.
- Get working on it!!

There are several reasons WHY I share the majority of my answers with you in my Roadmap:
- To provide an “environment” that fosters you to get your spirit/energy flowing.
- To give you an idea of the depth of my answers and spur you on to go deeper on yours.
- To give you some new ideas on maybe some things you want to consider.
Before you get started with your 2018 Annual Roadmap & Strategic Plan, I always like to talk about the “IF/THEN” principle. It’s the same principle I stress to my kids also.
And it’s something I’ve talked about in the Mastermind before also.
With my kids, I say this:
IF you practice hard, THEN you will get better.
IF you do well in school, THEN you will eventually go to a good college.
IF you go to a good college, THEN you will eventually, most likely, get a good job.
IF you have great behavior, THEN people will like you and it will help you in life.
IF you pray, THEN it will improve your spiritual life.
For us, it’s no different.
IF you continue to learn, THEN you will excel in your field.
IF you pay attention to your best practices, THEN you will find more success.
IF you surround yourself with the right people, THEN it will elevate your stream of consciousness and boost your mindset.
IF you have FAITH to believe in what you do and the COURAGE to believe in your dreams, then you can live your best life.
IF you lead with authenticity and genuine care, THEN you can build a culture and team based on TRUST.
IF you do things the right way, THEN good things ultimately happen.
IF you immerse yourself in serving your purpose and being world-class in all aspects of your life, THEN you will be most successful and significant.
You get the idea. And it’s no different for you & I in life. The “IF / THEN” principle is always in effect.
My friends, the “IF/THEN” principle applies heavily to the 2018 Annual Roadmap & Strategic Plan.
IF you do this exercise, and you GO DEEP and spend hours of time, effort, and energy on this over the next couple weeks….
THEN it will pay off in an extremely prosperous and successful year. It IS your ROADMAP to success and significance.
IF you do this exercise & invest time on it, THEN you WILL have the foundation for what will be an EXTRA-ORDINARY 2018.
It brings me great honor & pleasure to present to you your 2018 Annual Roadmap & Strategic Plan.This is designed to help you create your biggest & BEST YEAR yet.
A few things you should be aware of:
- I have 105 questions this year. As I have evolved, so has this exercise. These are the 105 questions that I believe are critical for YOU to answer!Don’t let the number “105” overwhelm you. Some of the answers will be one word. Someone sentence or one paragraph. But every single question of the 105 has value and a PURPOSE. And the entire PROCESS is going to greatly benefit you on all levels.
- Do your best with the questions. I have been “goal-setting” for business and life for many years. But in the last 10 years, it has become much more formalized and systematic. These questions are extremely powerful. But even more powerful than the questions, are YOUR answers. The true magic is in what you write. So spend time writing. And feel free to write as much as you wish.
- Take several hours total over the next 2 weeks to write. Sometimes you will spend 30 minutes. Sometimes you will spend 60 minutes. Perhaps other times you will spend 2 hours. I will probably spend 15-20 hours total going DEEP on these questions over a few-week period.
- Don’t get overwhelmed. Do what you can do. Find a few hours on a few different days over the next few weeks to do what you can. Enjoy the process. It’s a powerful one!
So print out your attached 2018 Annual Roadmap & Strategic Plan Questions and start to CREATE the GREATNESS you deserve.
Remember, these questions are designed to get your juices flowing and get you emotionally charged with excitement and enthusiasm. The questions are simply guidelines for you to start THINKING DEEPLY & WRITING FLUIDLY. The key here is to write and write and write. And when you go back and review your answers and write some more, GO DEEPER. The deeper you go with your answers, the more it will resonate with your emotions and your soul. And that is a GREAT thing.
So there you have it. The MAGIC is in the work that you do. These questions are simply vehicles for you to create a structure to your thought process and create clarity in your ACTION steps. When all complete, you will have a total comprehensive Annual Roadmap/Strategic Plan that WILL help you achieve what YOU want to achieve.
Without further ado, let’s get started. Prioritize your time in the next few weeks to get it done. Whether it’s early in the AM, late at night, or time carved out in the afternoon, find a space you can be quiet and start THE PROCESS.
I can’t wait to get rocking & rolling in 2018!!!
Much love,
Todd
P.S. Here are a few guidelines when I’m doing my Roadmap:
- I will spend 2-3 hours initially STARTING the exercise. This gets my mind flowing and gets me in “strategic” mode. This is a great place to be.
- I will then go back at some point within a few days and spend another couple hours on it. I may expand the answers, I may have a few more answers, and I may just think & write some more. This is probably another 2-3 hours. I will then most likely go back 2, 3, 4 or more times and read it, edit it, expand it, look at it, etc between Christmas & New Year’s. This may be 1-3 hours each time.
- When all done (typically in the 1st week of the year), I print out my entire exercise, put it in laminate sheets and a 3-ring binder, and review it frequently. This serves as a living, breathing entity that allows me to stay FOCUSED on the Roadmap that I have created. It’s like a compass that gives you direction!
GO GET IT…Have some fun, enjoy the process and DREAM BIG!!!
